Pro MMA rules question...

So I was watching a rebroadcast of a WEC card yesterday on Versus and I noticed something that stuck out to me... they were doing the camera switches between the corners inbetween rounds and one of the fighters was being given a drink, but not of water; they were giving him Vitamin Water.

It really shouldn't be that big of a deal, but I know in pro boxing how stringent they are about the plain water rule (especially after the Aaron Pryor fight fiasco)... is that common practice for MMA fights? I never really paid much attention but I know that I would much prefer some Gatorade/Vitamin Water inbetween rounds over water if it were up to me as well.

...they were doing the camera switches between the corners inbetween rounds and one of the fighters was being given a drink, but not of water; they were giving him Vitamin Water.

A sponsor getting airtime with a label on a bottle does not always correlate to the actual contents of a bottle.

Calm down, it's only ones and zeros.
